      I want to unpack this a bit. Kanye keeps talking about his love for Trump and how he separates his love and affection for the man from what others may think about him. This isn’t about being a Democrat or Republican. THREAD.pic.twitter.com/nYiJIzExB2

      This is Bull Connor. He was the architect of police brutality in the 1950s & 60s. Generally remembered to be a monster of a man. I’ve heard he was a skilled & persuasive organizer of people. Think I’m going to wear a t-shirt or hat with his face or name because of that?pic.twitter.com/706lD2hKmc

          This is Frank Rizzo - Chief of Police in Philadelphia. Few modern American leaders were as consistently brutal and bigoted as he. I also heard that he was as determined as a man could ever be. I’m not getting a “determination” hat or shirt with his name or face on it.pic.twitter.com/7PEetuJxap

          This is J. Edgar Hoover. He helped plot the destruction of Black movements and leaders for generations. He was also an exceptionally skilled institution builder. I can’t celebrate his skill, though, because the harm he did was real. Can’t name my kid Hoover. Or say I love himpic.twitter.com/t0iiyVfCXl

          Kanye has decided that all of the harm Trump has caused to very real people - that it doesn’t really matter much - because he likes the man’s personality, his style. This doesn’t make him “a free thinker” or a maverick. It makes him an insensitive asshole. END OF THREAD

          Before you go any further you’re comparing trump to this man? How? Trumps policies on immigration, which have been his most controversial, aren’t any different than Bill Clinton’s policies...

          I'm going to let you in to a little secret: There have been bad policies before trump. Just because he's not the first xenophobe in office, that doesn't make xenophobia ok. Same with racism. Same with plutocracy.

          Ok so this sounds serious. Was joking earlier abt it. What is Kanye at? Want to cop himself on and have a reality check perhaps.
